Previously arrested illegal alien charged with sexual assault of 11 year old girl

NASHVILLE, TN (Fox News 17) – An undocumented immigrant in Nashville is being held on an ICE detainer after he allegedly sexually assaulted his girlfriend’s 11-year-old daughter.

According to court documents, Samuel Xala Polito, 29, admitted to police after being read his Miranda Rights that he’d entered the young girl’s room at his girlfriend’s home and inappropriately touched her on two separate occasions in September.
